Have a go at these. The answers are at the bottom of the post (no cheating though!) :)

(1) Suppose there are three men who are frozen and two of them died. How many are left?

(2) If a man is at the bottom of a cliff and he is dead and he has half of a match in his hand. How did he die?

Hmm, bananas anybody?

(3) A man walks into a restaurant and the waiter says good day Admiral. Why did the waiter call the the man an Admiral?

(4) You are in a cabin and it is pitch black. You have one match with you. Which do you light first, the newspaper, the lamp, the candle or the fire?

Having a lightbulb moment?

(5) Each day a lady gets the lift from the 12th floor to the ground level, so she can go to work. When she comes home however she only goes up on the lift to level 8. Why is this - it is not to keep fit?

(6) A ship is sailing in the Atlantic ocean ... it sinks and every single person dies.....how is that possible?

(8) Which word, if pronounced right, is wrong, but if pronounced wrong is right?

Here's the source. Scary thing is, these are supposedly for kids!!! How did you go? What's your favorite type of brain-teaser (or do you really, really hate those twisty little suckers)???

Answers:

(1) (Answer: None! You were only supposing)
(2) (Answer: The man was in a hot air balloon with some of his friends and the balloon started to go down so the group of friends made a decision to draw sticks (matches) and who ever got the shortest stick had to jump off. The dead man got the shortest stick so he had to jump off!)
(3) (Answer: Because he was wearing his uniform!)
(4) (Answer: You light the match first!)

I write YA Horror, Dark Fantasy, and Psychological Thrillers, and spend my day imagining evil plot twists and psychotic characters. When I'm not thinking up ways to make you squirm, you'll find me blogging up a storm (with the occasional Twitter and Facebook foray as well), planning for my next Campaign, wondering whether to make Write Hope a permanent fundraiser for charity, counting down the days to the next WriteOnCon, and diving into another round of critiques with my CPs.

I blog on every second Monday. And other times as the whim takes me :)

My WIP - DARK

Sixteen-year-old Sydney Price is blinded by the radical group Dark, who demand that she betray her scientist brother if she wants to save his life.
